Finally, I no longer crave cigarettes. The mantra is to Stop Smoking and Never Smoke Again.
That is the toughest part. To teach the Cerebellum to say no. The rest then is about moving from strength to strength.
Next, my strategy is to switch my training schedule to fit into my sleep schedule.
Tomorrow I have to skip the morning exercise because it is 1:25 am and I am still wide awake. So no exercise in the morning. I am planning to shop for a winter jacket then.

Tonight is the right feeling. I am feeling blissful that I don't smoke. No more noise in my head justifying why I should be puffing.
Based on tonight's progress, I can say the voice of reason to smoke is finally quietened.
I am back to my senses. I will continue to insist that I won't smoke for 28 days and eventually for 66 days.
That is the way to do it. To persist on the same path indefinitely.
It is a valuable lesson for me. Now I know that whatever I do I need to persist. I need to commit and to be consistent.
I am hardly committed. I talk much but I don't act on my words.
Well, this is the moment of truth. I am going for the 28-day cessation and I [] (am) here to prove it.
As usual, I plan ahead of time. The real Moment of Truth is the 1st of Ramadan, the 1st anniversary of the Ar Rahman 55 Day.
I make sure I plan early because this is the year I am doing my first Dry Fast after 25 years.
For sure I'll make a point that this is my second win this year after 28 days of smoking cessation.
What I want eventually is the commitment that I am making this year the Golden Reign of the Wood Dragon.
From that perspective, I just realized that my donations and spending for Alexander, ASAS NEO, and Hokkaido are worthy of the cause. I actually splurged as a Dragon should.
No regrets at all. I am very contented that I did what I did.
Now comes the next commitment, which is to save RM2k this year.
These are actions. Not just words. Acta Non-Verba.
What am I talking about? I am rambling again.
Perhaps there is truth in the rambling.
